| Description： |
On PDA, growth is rapid, with white to beige aerial mycelium and dense orange sporodochia. Colonies reach 6.0 cm diameter for 4 days at 24℃. Microconidia are sparse. Macroconidia are formed in aerial mycelium from clumps of phialides that develop laterally on the hyphae or as terminations of short lateral branches. The conidia are fusoid to broadly falcate with a curved, pointed tip and well developed foot cell, mostly 3-5 septate, 27.1–38.2 × 3.8– 4.2 μm. Chlamydospores are present, intercalary in the hyphae, single, in pairs, or in chains. | |||
